Overview Planning Workspace is a centralized Web-based planning, budgeting and forecasting program that integrates financial and operational planning processes and improves business predictability. Planning allows the budgeting process to be performed using a web browser. The end user enters data through the internet in web forms. The data can then be pulled into reports and analyzed. Planning web forms can also be downloaded to Excel with a direct connection to the web or downloaded to work offline. Planning is compatible with Internet Explorer 7.x, 8.x and Firefox 3.5.x.
